Top Tips For Black Friday + The BEST Sales & ...

It is officially here guys, the biggest shopping week of the year – Cyber Week!! I feel like it may be getting longer and bigger every year but I am not complaining. I LOVE sale shopping so Black Friday is always one of my favourite days of the year. There are SO many amazing sales this year. So, today I thought it would be helpful if I share with you some of the big sales and best discount codes that are live NOW. Along with some top tips on how to shop Black Friday in the easiest and most efficient way possible… Happy Shopping!

TOP TIPS:

1. Social Media/Apps:

Keep a constant eye on social media for live updates. Especially be sure to follow the stores you want to shop from as well your favourite bloggers who will definitely be sharing loads of offers over the weekend. I will be showing any items I pick up and any great discounts I see over on my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter & Snapchat (@retroflame1) so be sure to follow if you haven’t already!

2. Plan Ahead:

This is an important one! The sales can be quite overwhelming so, make a list of everything you need to buy for yourself or for gifts! Otherwise you WILL end up impulse buying. Also, don’t forget about the bigger investment pieces. Things that you may not need straight away like something for your home i.e a new tv. The sales are so good – it would be a shame to wait!

3.Create A Budget :

…& Finally, you have to do this last step – create a budget & stick to it. No matter how tempting it is to splurge. Your bank account will thank you later, trust me!

…& here are the best sales happening right NOW:

High Street Fashion:

1.RIVER ISLAND

You all know I am a big River Island fan. It’s been a brand I’ve loved & worn for years so being able to collaborate with them recently was really a dream come through. Here are some of my current favourites, this fab vinyl skirt – honestly such a handy piece to have in your wardrobe! I also love these high knee boots too, they look so comfy and are such a bargain!

Pretty Little Thing is always a reliable site for party wear and fun accessories. Today would be such a great opportunity to pick up some of your Christmas occasion wear. This dress of theirs reminds me so much of the one I wore to my cousins wedding this Summer.

Let face it, we all adore Topshop but the prices can be a little bit steep in comparison to other high street stores. So, I always take full advantage of their cyber week sales! Today they are offering up to 50% off on selected lines. SO many bargains to be got , like this

Every year on black Friday I always find amazing items on Forever 21 so it’s one of the first I go to when the sales begin. This top they currently have on sale would be so handy with leather leggings for winter nights out. Here are all the discounts that are happening today.

One of my very favourites! Anything I have bough on Revolve over the last few years I have loved and gotten loads of wear out of of so definitely be sure to give it a browse. With these deals you would be crazy not to..
